ANNE HUNSICKER : DESIGNER

The feel of a thing ...

How does a thing feel? It feels amazing to finish a creative project … All I have to do is sew in the ends and one scarf and it is ready for Christmas … Having never actually worn one before, the verdict was, after much in house pondering, skepticism and light sarcastic amusement ending with ‘you’ll figure it out’, is that I do actually love this scarf. I am able to give it the design AND function stamp-of-approval that G always asks of me … It hugs your body well without encroaching on your neck, it gives your neck warmth and continues the warmth onto the front of your body … It’s light weight but not so light that you feel like you are wearing a feather for show, this feels like an actual piece of clothing … It’s so much about the colors and which colors - the most exciting part … Knitting is beautifully meditative, and this pattern is a perfect mix of needing to concentrate and count and being able to just go … I also knew that once I cracked this pattern the first time, the ones I knit next will be faster. Tracking time on the 2nd Earth colors scarf, now half way done, I’m on day 8, with a end goal of 14 days, cutting my total knitting time down from six weeks to two. :) And yes, I am enjoying the process … More than that really, totally loving it. xoox
